Fatherhood Project

Gowrie SA provides a range of services for fathers/male caregivers and their children through the Fatherhood Support Project. The project aims to support men caring for children aged 0-12 and to assist them in building strong and positive relationships with their child(ren). Programs within this project include weekend fun activity sessions, playgroups and parenting programs, facilitated by our Fatherhood Worker and other staff. All programs are offered free of charge to participants.

Sunday Fun for Dads & Kids takes place on the first Sunday of every month at the Seaton North Neighbourhood Centre, and provides men with a great opportunity to have fun with their child(ren) aged 0-12 in a relaxed environment with other Dads, Grandfathers, Uncles, Carers etc. We also offer 8-week Circle of Security Parenting programs specifically for men. Please check out the links below for further details of these programs.
